Parents said they were devastated when Acorns announced it would be forced to close a hospice in Walsall in June.

The hospice said funding from local healthcare commissioners and NHS England had given it a "lifeline" and time to start a campaign to raise £2m.

Acorns chief executive, Toby Porter, said: "We're not there yet, but we've made progress over the last three weeks that we never thought was possible.

"Now all we need is that final heave from the local community, local businesses, who have all reacted so wonderfully to the threat of closure - we can get over the line together."
